Media Field random image order

[jan-chvojka]

If you have multiple images in Meida Field, images does not retain your sort order, you have to reorder them before each publish/save. The order is saved fine, but when the Content Item Edit page reloads, they are displayed randomly. The script mediafield.js is checking them whether they exits via ajax and that is causing this error.

I think this part of code causes the problem (OrchardCore.Media\Assets\js\mediafield.js, line 23-43)

                set: function (values) {
                    var self = this;
                    var mediaPaths = values || [];
                    var signal = $.Deferred();
                    mediaPaths.forEach(function (x, i) {
                        promise = $.when(signal).done(function () {
                            $.ajax({
                                url: mediaItemUrl + "?path=" + encodeURIComponent(x),
                                method: 'GET',
                                success: function (data) {
                                    self.mediaItems.push(data);
                                },
                                error: function (error) {
                                    console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
                                }
                            });
                        });
                    });

                    signal.resolve();
                }

By reading the code I think you are right. But I can't repro :) For me the order is always OK. What steps are you following to make it fail?

Maybe it's because I load images from Azure Blob Storage. I'm going to try it tomorrow with default media provider and I will see if it's behave correctly.

Closing after testing in azure blobstorage. Fixed by #1751
